Market Adaptation to Climate Change in Dynamic Spatial Equilibrium: Micro Estimation and Macro Simulation
(with Ivan Rudik, Gary Lyn, Ariel Ortiz-Bobea)

Research Question: What are the welfare effects of general equilibrium adaptation via trade, migration, and capital accumulation in response to climate change?

Methodological Contributions: (1) Model-consistent estimating equations to identify climate impacts on productivity and amenities from temperature shocks; (2) Quantitative decomposition of general equilibrium adaptation channels (trade, migration, industry switching, capital accumulation) to shocks in fundamentals in a dynamic spatial model


Work in Progress

Paper 2 Innovation Networks and Spatial Inequality
(Job Market Paper)

Research Question: How do cross-city innovation networks impact spatial inequality and aggregate growth?

Methodological Contribution: Add endogenous, dynamic, and microfounded innovation to quantitative dynamic spatial models


Paper 3 The Dynamic Propagation of Productivity Shocks
(with Zebang Xu)

Research Question: What are the origins of technological waves?

Methodological Contribution: Add endogenous innovation to production network models to characterize the dynamic propagation of productivity shocks via innovation and production networks


Paper 4 Climate Adaptation Portfolios
(with Derek Lemoine, Antonia Marcheva, Ivan Rudik)

Research Question: Which regions and industries should a global planner target to reduce the aggregate and distributional impacts of climate change?

Methodological Contribution: Characterize planner problem to reduce impacts of productivity shocks in a global production network model
